Description:

The U.S. Supreme Court took a major step toward ending a 17-year legal battle Thursday, saying lower courts made a mistake by focusing too much on forcing Arizona to spend more money to help students who haven't yet learned to speak, read or write English.

The court voted 5-4 to send the Flores vs. Arizona case back to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The instructions are to consider whether Arizona has complied with civil-rights law by improving both English-learner programs and K-12 education overall.
